European Unioon to send Demarche to (r)

Subject: Re: European Unioon to send Demarche to SLORC
If this is true, this is very disappointing on the part of the french, as

european consortium. Total is as guilty as slorc in Burma, not the
European Union! What utter hypocrisy. We are now preparing to contact
the French responsables. Dawn Star
